That is an AMAZING loss!!! You look great! I also want to say that you definitely didn't look 400 pounds in your pics. I looked a lot bigger at less than 300. Not that it matters now, I suppose. Lol

You should be beyond proud of yourself. Taking it off is so hard, and keeping it off can be equally as hard. Don't do what I did and gain it all back.... I'm sooooo kicking myself now! Your story is so impressive.... get back on track because another year will have gone by and you'll wish you had done it. :)

Not that it matters now, I suppose. Lol I got that a lot, but the scale doesn't lie, I guess. i was between a 30/32W and 26/28w @ 5'11" in my older pics. i am currently the size I was in 3rd grade, a 16W (yes, women's).... no exaggeration. My parents just didn't know what is known today. Very hard working, blue-collar type of people... Their idea of living good was having overflowing cabinets of food... and I paid for it dearly- almost with my life. |

Your story is so impressive.... get back on track because another year will have gone by and you'll wish you had done it. :) I lost 100 pounds before I met my husband and we both gained it all back plus some because we ended up having to live with my parents for several years... So this is my second time around for the over 100 lbs. lost path. I've been in pits of despair many times and it will only make you stronger if you allow it, but that same can also be said for the opposite outcome. |

QUOTE: I've lost 165 pounds over the last 6 years. It's been a long, hard and very grueling battle. I've not had any kind of surgery, just pure determination. I still need to lose over 80 pounds. I am currently in a slump and have been eating very bad for the past 2 weeks. Sometimes, sharing my story with others amps me back up again and gets me back in 'the mode'. So here are some before and after pics... 
This is my 9th grade school ID from 1991. I was 400 pounds here. 
My then boyfriend and I around 1999. 
Our wedding pic from October 28, 2000. Still hovering at around 400 lbs... 
This is around 2008... I am about 375 here... 
Also from 2008. Fast forward to today and... 
and I can fit into ONE LEG of my old pair of favorite pants. and this was from a few days ago: 
and that's me in pics. :-) I picked up a used college text book on nutrition and it changed my life. Have since been on a crazy journey losing one pound at a time. You look great hunny.. good job..

You are looking good girly! The road is long and hard but you are showing that it can be done. Keep it going and you will find the finish line. You are stronger than you think, you have come this far and you can finish.

Well get back on the wagon, 165 lbs was the hard part, 80lbs should be a walk in the park for you by now....You know how, just keep on doing what you were doing.

Great Job!! I just have one questions for you...Who won the race? The tortoise or the hare? Kind of puts it in perspectve for me. It's taken you a long time, but you are more able to know how to keep it off that if you had lost it all in a single year.
